The NFL of course filed an objection to Strikes for Kids argument. Ultimately the District, and not Magistrate judge will have to make the final determination.
Bernie Nicholls and Gary Leeman vs. NHL
The NHL has asked a US judge for OK to file motion for summary judgment in its legal fight w Bernie Nicholls and Gary Leeman. 1/2
— Rick Westhead (@rwesthead) June 12, 2017
If NHL’s motion granted, there would be no trial in their brain-injury cases. Judge would rule on merits of case w/o court testimony. 2/2

Actually Judge Feinerman ruled that the Boogaard’s didn’t prove their legal arguments. Case was lost on statutes, not merits.
